AIM The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the synbiotic Bifidobacterium lactis B94 plus inulin addition to the standard triple therapy on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection eradication rates. METHODS Children aged 6-16 years who had biopsy proven H. pylori infection were randomly classified into two groups. The first group received the standard triple therapy consisting o...

A series of homoleptic and heteroleptic platinum(II) complexes [Pt(C[triple bond]CFc)2(L-L)] (L-L = COD 1, 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) 2), Q2[cis/trans-Pt(C6F5)2(C[triple bond]CFc)2] (cis, Q = PMePh3, 3; trans, Q = NBu4, 4), (NBu4)[Pt(bzq)(C[triple bond]CFc)2] 5 (Hbzq = 7,8-benzoquinoline) and (NBu4)2[Pt(C[triple bond]CFc)4] 6 has been synthesized and characterized spectroscopic...

Incorporation of diplatinum complex Pt2(micro-dppm)2(bpyC[triple bond]C)4 or Pt2(mu-dppm)2(phenC[triple bond]C)4 with Ln(hfac)3(H2O)2 (Ln = Nd, Eu, Yb) gave a series of Pt2Ln2 and Pt2Ln4 bimetallic arrays, in which the excitation of d(Pt) -->pi*(R-C[triple bond]C) MLCT absorption induces sensitisation of lanthanide luminescence through efficient d --> f energy transfer from Pt(II) alkynyl chrom...

Redox active polyiron complexes with higher dimensional spacers, the tetrairon complex with the two-dimensional tetra(ethynylphenyl)ethene spacer, (C=C)[p-C(6)H(4)-C triple bond C-FeCp*(dppe)](4), and the diiron complex with the three-dimensional spacer (pseudo-m-[2,2]paracyclophane)[C triple bond C-FeCp*(dppe)](2), are prepared, and their performance as molecular wires is evaluated on the basi...

In the last twenty years, a theory of real Jordan triples has been developed. In 1994 T. Dang and B. Russo introduced the concept of J∗B–triple. These J∗B–triples include real C∗–algebras and complex JB∗–triples. However, concerning J∗B–triples, an important problem was left open. Indeed, the question was whether the complexification of a J∗B–triple is a complex JB∗–triple in some norm extendin...

In this paper, we will study compatible triples on Lie algebroids. Using a suitable decomposition for a Lie algebroid, we construct an integrable generalized distribution on the base manifold. As a result, the symplectic form on the Lie algebroid induces a symplectic form on each integral submanifold of the distribution. The induced Poisson structure on the base manifold can be represented by m...

Alternanthera mosaic virus (AltMV) triple gene block 3 (TGB3) protein is involved in viral movement. AltMV TGB3 subcellular localization was previously shown to be distinct from that of Potato virus X (PVX) TGB3, and a chloroplast binding domain identified; veinal necrosis and chloroplast vesiculation were observed in Nicotiana benthamiana when AltMV TGB3 was over-expressed from PVX. Plants wit...

We present numerical solutions of the steady and unsteady transonic small disturbance equations that describe the Mach reflection of weak shock waves. The solutions contain a complex structure consisting of a sequence of triple points and tiny supersonic patches directly behind the leading triple point, formed by the reflection of weak shocks and expansion waves between the sonic line and the M...

Dexlansoprazole MR is the R-enantiomer of lansoprazole that is delivered by a dual delayed release formulation. It is effective for symptom control of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, its efficacy in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection remains unclear. This pilot, randomized, controlled, head-to-head study was conducted to investigate whether the efficacy of si...
